Leeds: No Tottenham approach for Poyet
Leeds United have dismissed speculation linking assistant manager Gus Poyet with a return to Tottenham under a new management team headed by Spaniard Juande Ramos. Martin Jol was relieved of his duties by Spurs on Thursday, and it has been rumoured that Poyet, who is working alongside Leeds boss Dennis Wise, is a target for the north London club.
But Leeds have released a statement on the club's official website in which they confirm that any approach from Tottenham for Poyet has neither been received or would be welcomed.
It read: "Despite the widespread speculation linking Gus Poyet with a potential role at Tottenham Hotspur within a new management team following the departure of Martin Jol, Leeds United can officially confirm that we have neither received an approach from Tottenham for Poyet nor a request for him to be released from his contract with Leeds.
"Any approach from Tottenham for our assistant manager would not be welcome.
"The most important matter for everyone at Leeds United is Saturday's fixture with Millwall where we will be looking to extend our unbeaten start to the season.
"The club will be making no further comment at this time."
